Finding Text

Criteria in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period. Questioned Costs None. Context The Organization did not adhere to their reporting process therefore the financial statement supporting documentation was not provided to the auditors in a timely manner and as a result the reporting package and data collection form for the current year end to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse was not filed within nine months of the end of its fiscal year. Cause Due to a delay in the reconciliation of accounts receivable and delayed responses to audit requests, the filing for the year ended June 30, 2022, was submitted late. Effect The Organization is not in compliance with the specific requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Recommendation We recommend that the Organization adhere to its existing protocols related to financial and regulatory reporting to ensure timely compliance. We also suggest that management work closely with the auditors, as they have in prior years, to adhere to an audit timeline to provide information and ensure future audits are completed prior to the end of March so that future electronic submissions can be completed by the deadlines set forth in the regulatory agreement.
